Hiking

Dr. Bekey has hiked and backpacked extensively throughout the
American west, including more than 30 week-long trips in Wyoming,
Colorado, Oregon and California mountain ranges. He has climbed
Mount Whitney in the Sierra Nevada, descended to the Grand Canyon
floor several times, trekked to 12,000 feet in Nepal’s Langtang
Valley, and explored the trails and multitudinous stairs of Italy’s
Cinque Terre, among many other adventures. Dr. Bekey most recently
wore down his running shoes on the streets of Shanghai and his
hiking boots in the shadow of Washington state’s Mount Adams
volcano.
